Series showcasing the best of travel across the globe. In this Travel Show special, Rajan Datar visits Buddhist temples, monastic retreats and exclusive spas across Thailand.

Despite its enormous popularity as a sun and sea holiday destination, thanks to its Buddhist traditions, Thailand has also retained a reputation as a country where religion and spirituality are of big part of everyday life. As a result, it's become a destination that's visited by many travellers who want to disengage from the pressures of everyday life and reconnect with something altogether more meaningful - but are they chasing a dream?

In this Travel Show Special, presenter Rajan Datar visits Buddhist temples, monastic retreats and exclusive spas across Thailand in search of enlightenment, and asks if the country's reputation as a spiritual sanctuary could be under threat as increasing wealth and consumerism take hold.
